Coffee here is good to great (if you like serious coffee), food is cafe good rather than restaurant. Salads are really great and staff good about making changes to the menu/dishes if you need, plus menu offers vegetarian and gluten-free options. Good friendly atmosphere, but pretty crowded at lunch time and weekend brunch. Avoid the corn fritters.

Took friends here after the dawn service on Anzac Day. Didn't realise there was a new menu but they still had a few old favourites on there. We arrived right on opening and the place was really busy. They must have been waiting outside. Ha. Even so the service was very personal and the food just awesome. Coffee as usual... More

This place is popular with the locals so we stopped for breakfast. Mediterraneo has a huge breakfast menu and an attractive counter display - so every taste should easily find a match. The café offers a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating options and the staff are very attentive. We liked it - especially their great coffees

Another suggestion from Lonely Planet and again not disappointed. We sat out on the pavement and watched the world go by. The cafe was busy but service was prompt and friendly. The food was fresh and well presented. Would recommend this place without hesitation.

Very popular Cafe. Good service though and excellent coffee. Food also great. Bit noisy, but that goes with the territory.

Not many places today you can go into and they greet you by name and a smile. The food is fresh and tastes great the specials are always mouthwatering. The coffee would be the best in Tauranga. Nothing is a problem if you require something not on the menu. The service is great, with a very good atmosphere. We loved... More

Given other reviews we were looking forward to having lunch at Med. What a letdown! Maybe other reviewers have not eaten at other great Tauranga restaurants and cafes. The food should have been the stars of our lunch – get the food wrong and as a restaurant/cafe you have NOTHING! Sure most of the dishes looked fine when present but... More

Touring NZ for 8 weeks, we had many breakfasts, and this was perhaps the best of all - delicious toast, bacon and poached eggs, with really good coffee. Our visit was mid-morning on a Sunday and it was packed, so obviously a popular spot... it deserves to be.

This is a couple of doors along from Hotel on Devonport where I was staying. They use Karajoz coffee and my latte is always perfect. I'm not so much into big cooked breakfasts. The muesli is gluten free with rhubarb compote and greek yoghurt - I would prefer more fruit options. The porridge (also with rhubarb and brown sugar) was... More
